Ghanaian hip-hop/ rap artiste, Lyrical Joe, has explained why he has been inactive in music for over eight years now and how his musical journey has been all through that period.
Talking to Foster Romanus on the Late Nite Celebrity Show, he clarified that he has been doing stuff behind the scenes.
It was along the line that he had some people coming in to help him establish himself but his musical journey has been a very bumpy ride since.
Narrating how difficult it has been for him, he said, ‘’It’s difficult because being an artiste from ground start because it’s just you with your pen and paper.
He furthered, “I didn’t have money to pay a producer for beats, not to talk of studio time so I was one of those people who would pick up someone’s song and while it played in the background, I would write my own lyrics to it’’.
According to LJ, he only used to write lyrics and keep them because he did not have money to pay for recording but as time went by, he saw the essence of all his writing.
Now that he is doing better in the industry, he does not have to sit down to write new lyrics because he already has a lot done.
